Alterations in the lipid, glycemic and hemodynamic profile may increase the risk of developingchronic diseases and mortality. Objective: Associate the metabolic and anthropometric parameters and foodintake of Brazilian adult women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 34 Brazilian womenaged 20-59 years old. Alcohol consumption, smoking, physical exercise, blood pressure, anthropometric and foodintake data were collected. Glycated hemoglobin and lipid fractions were also evaluated.Results: There was apositive association between energy consumption and body mass ( = 0.377, p = 0.028) and waist circumference(ß = 0.373, p = 0.030), and between protein intake and body fat percentage (ß = 0.368, p = 0.032). There was alsoa positive association between waist circumference and the values of glycated hemoglobin (ß = 0.401, p = 0.019),and HDL-cholesterol was influenced directly by protein intake (ß = 0.573, p = 0.013) and inversely by lipid intake(ß = -0.597, p = 0.010).Conclusion: Anthropometry, metabolic profile and food intake were associated amongthe Brazilian adult women evaluated.
